Around ChApin & irmo

Happy 2020 to you! I hope you have a peaceful recovery week in-between Christmas and New Year. It seems like last year was on fast-forward, so I hope this year slows down a little bit.

To all of you who have New Year resolutions to lose weight and get in shape, the Ir-mo Chapin Recreation centers are there to help you! Visit www.icrc.net to learn more about the health and fitness programs available. Or call the commission at 803-772-1228. Don’t forget to set up an account with the commission’s new recreation software. It will allow you to register for classes and events of interest to you.
